40,030 residents per council seat in Hamilton, a higher ratio than 99% of Ontario municipalities
As a neighbourhood of Hamilton, Red Hill shares the council elected in October 2022, with Andrea Horwath as mayor. These names are from the 2022–26 term: Ontario’s municipalities voted on 26 October 2026, but the province’s open list of the results isn’t out. In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Red Hill belongs to Hamilton East—Stoney Creek; who holds it as MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named. Ned Kuruc (Conservative Party of Canada) is the MP for Hamilton East—Stoney Creek, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in Red Hill.

- Council size. The 2021 Census population is shared over all council seats, including the head of council’s, for this ratio.
- Election results. Where the page says “today’s boundaries”, it means Elections Canada’s estimate of the 2021 vote on the 2023 ridings; every other count is official and on the 2013 map.
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Which riding. A place belongs to the riding where most of its 2021 Census residents live, plus any other with 5% or more.
- Not on this page. Who controls the council by party (the open lists give none, and most Canadian councils sit without parties), budgets and band councils.
